Michael Dertouzos

1936-2001
"Michael was larger than life. He was at once a leader, builder, visionary and caring human being. Few individuals have so personally and profoundly shaped their institutions and professional fields. Yet he did so in a manner that respected and involved all of his colleagues. I will miss his personal friendship and counsel very much." - MIT President Charles M. Vest, MIT News, August 2001
